Three yellow petals sit on the center of three mottled leaves. The citrus-scented petals encompass the flower parts.
Trail/Garden Location:
Tulip Tree Shelter, Tulip Tree Trail
Garden Uses:
Yellow Trillium is another easy-to-grow Southeastern United States Trillium. It prefers rich, woodland conditions with light shade. A good selection to use as a mass planting in a woodland garden; however, one should also use non-aggressive native woodland wildflower companion plants because Trilliums are spring ephemeral.
Wildlife Benefits:
Provides shelter for small mammals and amphibians. Ants eat a fleshy substance, known as an elaiosome, off the seeds and help distribute the seeds when taken back to the colony.
Leaf Type:
The three leaves are heavily mottled with colors of silver and green.
